Re-post from pregnancy boards...need prayers for my dad..

Hello all, I am almost 6 mos. pregnant and last night I found out a secret that my family has been hiding from me, because I have anxiety disorder and am pregnant. My father has prostate cancer, that is not the whole story, he has known for 6 months and has 3 options and STILL has not picked one. I had to call in sick today, b/c I haven't slept one minute last night and can't stop crying. Does anyone know about this type of cancer? I hear that it is curable but he hasn't gone back to the Dr. yet, I don't even know what to say to him, he is scared, but that is being sooo selfish of him not to go at all. I am trying so hard to calm down, but I can't, I hope and pray I am not hurting my baby during all this, Thanks girls, I am going to try to rest now.

I actually know two people who have had prostate cancer and are fully recovered. They did catch it early and received radiation treatment (with seeds). Hope everything turns out okay.

I know 3 people also - two have survived (also caught early) and are in remission for 10+ years, the third is going through treatment now. I'm not sure of the details of their treatment. I know one involved freezing sperm (he was only in his early 20s). The third person, a co-worker, is going through rounds of tests. Unfortunately his cancer was diagnosed very late.

Re: Re-post from pregnancy boards...need prayers for my dad..

first I am so sorry to hear this- but you should talk to him- he needs to take care of this- I think everyone will feel better once he does

this isn't something to think about for too long- the sooner he takes care of it the better the outcome will be

good luckChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

My Uncle had it and is doing fine after surgery.

He just has to make a choice and its very cureable.

First off --- Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon you need to take care of yourself and your baby.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong but I believe that Prostate Cancer has a VERY high survival rate if caught in the earlier stages. Talk to your dad and tell him he must get this taken care of, if not for himself then for his grandchild that is on the way. Men can be very weird about the doctors sometimes.

My friends father just found out last week that he has prostate cancer and he will be receiving radiation for the next couple of weeks.

You are absolutely correct. If your father can catch it now in the early stages, he will be fine. I know about men and stubborness though as my dad just passed away from cancer because he did not want to go to the dr. If he would have gone, they would have caught it and he would be with us today.
Take care of yourself and your baby as that is the best for you and just talk to your dad.
Good Luck!
